The noise level from road traffic is 57 dB Lden, which is above the noise standard, while railway and aircraft noise are both below their respective standards. The foundation risk indication is medium, based on the fact that the home was built in 1967 on clay soil, which may mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation, and the area is a KCAF attention zone where 94% of properties were built before 1970. These are area-level indications from public data, not an inspection of this specific home. Climate risks are generally low, with low pluvial flooding risk, low current flood risk, and low heat stress, though heat stress is expected to become medium by 2050.
